Empty - For Your Choice 39 Contest
A rummage, a good look around
I looked but all that I found
Was empty
A darkened void, no hint enjoyed
All inspiration, unemployed
And empty
No notion, no emotion
No inner commotion
No spark that enlightens
No flash of what frightens
Just empty
No Halloween whispers
No birthday nor Christmas
No first date, no worst date
No indiscreet sisters
Just empty
This my domain, my nowhere bound train
Where darkness and haze uncouple my wain
My keyboard untapped, my paper still plain
As I find my brain is empty again.
